Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I’ve been many times and never been disappointed by the acts. There’s a warm, cosy atmosphere, good range of upcoming and established comics, obviously a mixed bag given that the material can be new and raw, but always at least one stellar performance. The emcee is great at keeping proceedings moving and the crowd welcoming, rowdy, but respectful. Location is great too if you’re planning to eat or drink before or after.

A super way to spend a Monday evening. Been twice in November after a lengthy hiatus and really reminded me of the amazingly talented Irish comedians we have. Gets you over those Monday blues. Look forward to returning.

I have been to Cherry Comedy an embarrassing number of times and it’s always such a good laugh. The comedians are all normally really funny and you’ll often accidentally see some quite famous ones thrown in there as well. But even if one comedian isn’t exactly your taste, the next one probably will be and the host will keep you entertained anyway. My most common host has been Fiona Frawley and honest to god I wish she would take over the entire show every single time. She is always so witty and warm and so quick with the crowd work. Honestly it’s such a fun welcoming gig every time, would highly recommend.

One of the best nights out in Dublin - pre Lockdown, my partner and I were going pretty much every week. We've seen some big names as well as much smaller acts, each time has been amazing!
Affordable, great atmosphere, great location in Whelan's as well - highly recommend. Can't wait to get back for another night!

It was my first time in a comedy club and I was not disappointed! We were welcomed in a cosy little room (which is great because you feel closer to the comedians who really interact with you). It was such a nice evening, very entertaining. The lady hosting the event was lovely and very funny, just like the comedians. Definitely worth it! And don't forget to go downstairs to sip a drink surrounded by very good music☺️

Attended one of the last shows before lockdown back in March 2020, one of the rounds for the Vodafone Comedy Festival Competition. Was a fantastic night, great atmosphere, great acts and very well run event overall. Looking forward to getting back again soon!

I don't usually leave a review but I just had to comment on how awesome the show was. 7 euro for 2 hours of belly aching laughter! What a bargain. I ended up chatting to the host after. I think his name was Wayne Doogan. Lovely fella but seemed a bit full of himself. Tickets were sold out this week so it was annoying that I couldn't go.
